Learn D3.js

in 5 Days

RIGHT NOW

What you'll receive

A concise, practical lesson delivered via email for five consecutive weekdays. Each lesson is short and to the point (around 1000 words) and packed with information. The lessons provide strong foundational knowledge of core D3 concepts, preparing you for further exploration and mastery.

This used to be a lead magnet, and helped me build a mailing list of over 3000 people in a matter of months. People seemed to like it quite a bit, but building and maintaining a list isn't something I have time for at the moment.

I've taken what used to be delivered as 5 daily emails and compiled it into a single PDF. Click the big green button and you're off and running, no strings attached. Enjoy!

Who is the intended audience?

Who is this for?

Absolutely no D3 experience is necessary, but the lessons do assume a basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. If you're a web developer looking to add data visualization to your skillset this course is perfect for you!

"The best D3.js introduction I've ever read"

That was probably the best D3.js introduction I have ever read. This not so easy library was described really excellent, you have a gift of showing what is really important.

"I loved the positive, encouraging tone."

Thank you, this is a brilliant course. I loved the humour and positive, encouraging tone. The level of complexity increases over time in a way that's easy to follow but challenging enough.

"Your course did the trick."

"A great introduction to the fundamentals"

Ben's D3 in 5 Days is a great introduction to the fundamentals of D3 and building data visualization for the web. The digestible lessons help to demystify common D3 patterns and build a solid foundation for learning more.

"So clear and well-written"

"Helping students cross the chasm"

Being a great teacher requires a deep sense of empathy to meet a new student where they are. For years, I have admired Ben's commitment to helping students cross the chasm between awareness and doing, and this mini-course is just another example of why he is one of the best in the space.

"Exactly what I needed to get started"

Learning D3 on your own is intimidating but Ben's course was exactly what I needed to get started. The emails built an incredible foundation with D3 and I'm now comfortable with the core concepts. I'm ready to start branching out and learning the API at a deeper level!
